Parlovr – Kook Soul [Review]

Posted by Ming Wu on April 27, 2012 No comments

I have been a big fan of Parlovr (Pronounced Parlour) since they burst out into the scene with their catchy pop rock anthem sing-along “Pen To Paper” from their debut self-titled album.
Since then the band has opened up to such bands like Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Handsome Furs, Surfer Blood, Born Ruffians & Tokyo Police Club.
The band being signed to Dine Alone Records in 2010.
Finally the wait is over and after long delays, Kooksoul will see the light of day on May 15, 2012.

Indie sloppy alterna-pop rockers Parlovr (pronounced Parlour, but lately have been going with its spelled named) is my favorite Montreal band.
While we wait breathlessly for their second album to drop, “Kook Soul” on Dine Alone Records, with word this will be sometime in spring 2012, listen to “Holding On To Something”.

After seeing Roberta Bondar and missing Bad Vibrations and Shameless at Babylon.
I headed up to Café Nostalgica (which I thought was suppose to be closed in September in rebuilding it) to see Montreal’s Cobra & Vultures.
If you don’t know they were formerly known as Nightwood.
This was their first show in Ottawa with the new name.
They were a last minute addition in opening up for Toronto’s The Mark Inside.

Cobra & Vulture – Seer [EP Review]

Posted by Ming Wu on September 5, 2011 No comments

I always wondered what was going on in the Nightwood camp.
Besides the drummer Jeremy who has been busy with Parlovr. (Guys when is the new album??)
Anyways back on the topic.
Low and behold, received an email from them here and is what I got.
Friends, we are pleased to present our band. We still love Nightwood, but that is now a band from before, and here is Cobra & Vulture.
Don’t worry! Same band members just a different name.
The band just released an EP called Seer. Which is free to download on their Bandcamp.
All four tracks are around 2 minutes.
It’s very different from what Nightwood.
Less heavy with the guitars (exception on Future Tension & Fortue) but more catchy and experimental with a hint of lo-fi.
Great songwriting from the band.
I really like all four tracks.

Chatting it up with Cotton Mouth

Posted by Ming Wu on May 8, 2010 No comments

I didn’t get to see their set on May 7th at Raw Sugar Cafe.
So I have to use photos of them from Pop Montreal in 2009.
I managed to do a interview with Montreal’s Cotton Mouth.
Since Parlovr is one of my favorite bands at the moment.
Here is the gist of what Cotton Mouth is.
The band was started up by Martin Horn (Pictured in the bottom) who is also a producer.

He produced Parlovr and Nightwood‘s album.
His backing band is the members of Parlovr.
The music is familiar to Parlovr and Nightwood.
But its more indie rock poppy and experimental.

Listen to the interview I did with Martin, Alex and Jeremy. (Louis was not there because he was resting in the van)
This is another of my favorite and funny interview.
I asked on how the band was formed, asked Martin on being a producer and a musician, name dropping Nightwood, Jeremy and Alex if Martin is a tough producer and my horrible french.

Posted by Ming Wu on January 19, 2010 2 comments

Montreal trio Nightwood made a stop by Canteen for Bands Undone.

Video by Brian Goldschmied.
The members consist of:

Amber Goodwyn
Jeremy MacCuish
Erin Ross

They played a stripped down performance of two songs from their full length album “Carta Marina”:

Maritimer
Elephant song (From their EP)
The Bright Girls of Summer

Nightwood was totally amazing to see them sing in a acoustic/strip down atmosphere.
It was a great time seeing them play.
The members are really nice and had a great time.
Here is the audio interview with the band.
